Christian Dating Principles For Single Christians
Many singles write us asking for Christian dating principles or Christian dating rules to guide their dating lives. Well, listen. I don’t claim to be a Christian dating expert, but I do know that the Scriptures have some wonderful stuff from which we can cobble some general Christian dating principles. The pursuit of love is universal, yet for Christian singles, this journey is not merely about finding a compatible partner. It’s about aligning the heart’s desires with God’s plan and…
The Role of Prayer in a Christian Singles Dating Relationship
When it comes to dating as a Christian, there’s one essential factor that holds it all together like duct tape on a leaky pipe: prayer. Yup, that’s right. We’re talking about bringing your relationship before God and asking for His guidance, wisdom, and maybe a little patience (especially when they keep leaving their socks on the floor). But why is prayer so important in a Christian singles dating relationship? Let’s dive into the role it plays and why it should…
Time Management and Living Single
Are you a time saver? A time waster? Do you have trouble prioritizing tasks? For whatever reason, time management and living single and alone don’t mix too well. Many single Christians, especially recently single again men and women, seem to be short on time. Many I know tell me the problem is they don’t prioritize their time efficiently. That’s what we call poor time management. Maybe one of the reasons some of us have time management issues is because we…
Why is it so Hard to Meet Someone?
If you’re reading this as a single Christian, let me first say, welcome! You and I are in the same boat—an ark, if you will, floating aimlessly across the sea of singlehood. Some of us have been navigating these waters for years, while others are fresh out of the harbor. Either way, it’s hard out here, right? But why exactly is it so difficult to meet someone? To explore this, let’s dive into some of the main reasons why modern…
Why God Created Eve: A Comical but Biblically-Sound Reflection for Christian Singles
Ah, the age-old question. Why did God create Eve? The answer, as we know, is embedded deep in the Book of Genesis, but let’s be honest: we’ve all wondered about this from time to time, especially when you’re navigating the single life. Was it really necessary for Adam to have a companion? Wasn’t he living the dream, chilling in the Garden of Eden, naming animals, and eating all the organic fruit his heart desired? But no, God looked at Adam…
When God Doesn’t Make Sense as a Christian Single
When God doesn’t make sense to you because all your Christian single friends have met someone, but you have not, does your faith waver? As Christian singles, maybe it’s a Christian dating relationship that’s gone awry, or some other event in your life that’s got you thinking about “the why” of it all. Why did God allow this? What’s God’s plan? Where do I go from here? Navigating the treacherous waters of singleness can often leave one feeling like a…
Rediscovering Purpose as a Christian Single Post-Breakup
Breakups are tough. Whether it was a long-term relationship or a short one, the end of a romantic connection can leave us feeling lost, lonely, and confused. When you’ve invested so much of your heart into someone else, it’s normal to feel disoriented when that bond breaks. However, as a Christian single navigating life post-breakup, there is an incredible opportunity to rediscover your purpose and grow closer to God during this season of your life. It’s not just about surviving;…
Signs of Lust in Christian Single Men
Do you know the signs of lust in a man? All Christian single men battle the lust of the flesh from time to time. In fact, let’s just make that ALL guys, whether they be single men or married men, Christian or non-Christian. One single man pal of mine said if his girlfriend ever knew his thoughts, she would never stop slapping him! Listen, men struggle with lust and masturbation, and any single man who says otherwise is just lying…
Generation Z Christian Singles
As Generation Z Christian singles can tell you, the vast majority of other 20-something singles and college singles do not attend church. Paradoxically, Generations Z Singles as they are called today, are also one of the most receptive age groups to evangelize. How can both of these statements about Gen singles be true? The answer is that many Christian churches are simply missing huge opportunities by not communicating the Gospel to 20-something singles in ways that make sense to them.…
Stuck in the Friend Zone as a Christian Single
Ah, the infamous Friend Zone—a place where your feelings are as obvious as a neon sign, but to the object of your affection, you’re just a really good buddy. If you’re a Christian single who’s head over heels for a Christian guy who doesn’t quite get the memo, don’t despair. The Friend Zone is a land of opportunity, growth, and, surprisingly, a lot of laughs. Let’s dive into how to deal with this unique relationship with humor, warmth, and a…
How to Let Go of a Toxic Christian Dating Relationship
Sometimes learning how to let go of a toxic Christian dating relationship can be harder than finding a girlfriend or boyfriend. Even when we know letting go of a particular relationship is in our best interest, like in the case of an abusive dating relationship, or dating a married person, or dating an unbeliever, it is not always an easy decision. Many times a Christian single may struggle over feeling guilty or think that the right person will never come into…
What Does it Mean to Abandon Yourself in a Relationship
Hey friend, let’s have a heart-to-heart about something that can be a little tricky when it comes to love: losing yourself. As a Christian single woman, I know how easy it can be to put someone else’s needs and wants before your own when you’re excited about a relationship. But what happens when you wake up one day and realize you’re not sure who you are anymore? If you’ve ever found yourself bending over backward to please someone, always putting…
Traits of a Good Christian Man: A Single Woman’s Perspective
So just what are the traits of a good Christian man? As a single Christian woman interested in dating, it’s easy to get caught up in the world’s definitions of a “good man.” We hear so much about how he should look, what kind of job he should have, and how charming or charismatic he needs to be. But as believers, we know that the qualities that truly matter in a man run much deeper than surface-level attributes. They are…
Moral Failure in Christian Dating Relationships: A Path to Healing and Redemption
I know of so many single Christians who come to me with grieving hearts over a moral failure in Christian dating relationships. Are you one of those? I have been there and done that, and I know exactly how it feels. During times like these, those experiencing moral failure need to know that if they are true believers in Christ, there may be broken fellowship, but forgiveness is only a prayer away. The tendency I had when I experienced moral…
How to Grow Spiritually During Singleness as a Christian
Christian Singleness is often viewed as a waiting room—a period of life where we twiddle our thumbs, waiting for that special someone to sweep us off our feet. But what if I told you that this season of singleness is actually a golden opportunity for spiritual growth? Yep, you heard me right! Your solo status isn’t a cosmic joke, but a divine gift wrapped in the glittering paper of self-discovery, spiritual depth, and yes, a good bit of humor. So,…
Relationship Status: Why Single Christians Should Not Obsess Over It
Ah, relationship status. That phrase that somehow carries the weight of a thousand questions, a million unsolicited pieces of advice, and enough awkward family dinner conversations to last a lifetime. If you’re a single Christian, you’ve probably heard it all: “So, when are you getting married?” “Have you tried online dating?” or the classic, “God has someone special for you, you just have to be patient.” Before you let out a big sigh or roll your eyes into the next…
